Whether you are trying to lose weight, cook more meals at home, or just incorporate more vegetables into your diet, these quick and easy healthy recipes are here to help.

We are just about two months in 2020, which means that the enthusiasm over new years resolutions has faded. This is when it gets hard. I am here to give you fresh ideas to make this easier and more fun.

18 Salad Recipes That Make Eating Your Veggies Delicious

I have rounded up some of my favorite healthy breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack recipes to help give you inspiration and motivation to keep eating better. One thing that helps me is having my fridge stocked with meal options and ingredients that I can feel good about. When I have food ready at home, I am far less likely to order unhealthy take out.

Some of these recipes are great for meal prepping, others are quick weeknight dinners, and some of the snacks are perfect for parties (the Super Bowl is just around the corner).

Quick and Easy Healthy Recipes

These Quick and Easy Healthy Recipes will make eating better fun. I've included recipes for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks. These are my go-to meals when I want to eat a bit healthier.

Easy Overnight Oats Recipes

So simple, healthy, and easy to meal prep. This is a grab and go breakfast you can eat on the commute to the office.

New Mexico Style Huevos Rancheros

Go easy on the cheese and huevos rancheros is a healthy and spicy way to start your day.

How to Make Perfect Sunny Side Up Eggs and Ways to Serve Them

Eggs are my go-to breakfast. They are a good source of protein and they keep me full for hours. Here are a few of my favorite ways to serve sunny side up eggs.

Chicken, Sweet Potato, and Kale Bowls

This salad is also heavy on the superfoods. It's made with kale, sweet potato, brococli, dried cranberries, diced chicken, and pepitas.

Superfood Salad Bowls with Crispy Chicken

This salad is made with spinach, butternut squash, beets, rice, and crispy breaded chicken. The goal was to create a salad recipe with as many nutrient rich vegetables as possible.

Chicken, Roasted Veggie, and Pesto Salad Bowls

Perfect for meal prepping, this bring-to-work lunch is made with quinoa, roasted tomatoes, chicken, roasted broccoli, parmesan, and pesto.

Brussels Sprout and Kale Salad

Brussels Sprout and Kale Salad is made with shaved brussels sprouts, chopped kale, bacon, parmesan, toasted almonds, and a maple tahini dressing. It's a lunch that I get excited about.

The Allis Chopped Salad 

Inspired by one of my favorite lunches at a Chicago restaurant, this salad has cucumber, beets, bell pepper, egg, bacon, cheddar, and chicken over greens.

Ranch Chicken Cobb Salad

Chicken coated with ranch seasoning gets added to this salad with corn, tomatoes, avocado, bacon, and cheese. If you want to be extra healthy, you can opt to leave the bacon and cheese out.

Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Salad

Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Salad is a hearty and healthy meal made with buffalo chicken, broccoli, carrot, celery, corn, tomato, cheddar cheese, and bacon on a bed of greens and quinoa. It's high protein, loaded with veggies, and perfect for meal prepping.

Balsamic Chicken and Sweet Potato Salad

A salad bowl made with chicken, sweet potatoes, spinach, and dried cranberries with a balsamic dressing.

How to Meal Prep Chicken

A very simple and delicious way to meal prep chicken to use throughout the week.

How to Make Gazpacho

Gazpacho is one of the healthiest recipes out there, it is loaded with tomatoes and cucumber giving it a refreshing taste.

Chicken Soup with Butternut Squash, Barley, and Kale

Soup is the best because it is healthy, easy to make in big batches, and it freezes well. This take on a chicken soup has chunks of butternut squash, kale, mushrooms, and barley.

Italian Vegetable Soup with Dumplings

This hearty Italian Vegetable Soup with Dumplings is an easy recipe and a delicious way to eat more vegetables. It's filled with tomatoes, zucchini, beans, and swiss chard and topped with tender Parmesan dumplings.

Herb Roasted Tomato Soup

This tomato soup can be made in under and hour. It's made with simple wholesome ingredients: tomatoes, olive oil, herbs, garlic, and broth!

Thai Curry Noodle Soup with Chicken

This soup gets its creaminess from coconut milk. It's slightly spicy and filled with chicken and noodles.

Cashew Chicken Quinoa Stir Fry

This healthy take on Cashew Chicken is a meal that I have been making for years. It's loaded with vegetables and can be made with either quinoa or rice.

Sweet Potato Noodles with a Goat Cheese Sauce

Sweet potato noodles cooked in a goat cheese is a delicious vegetarian meal loaded with vegetables. This meal comes together in just 20 minutes!

Southwest Turkey Burgers

Turkey burgers have a reputation for being… a bit boring. But! These Southwest Turkey Burgers are loaded with chopped bell pepper, poblano pepper, onion, garlic, and spices so that they are bursting with flavor.

Citrus Roast Chicken

Roast chicken is simple to prepare and nutritious. This is my go to recipe, I love the bright fresh lemon flavor.

Mango, Avocado, Jalapeño, Yogurt Dip

I sounds like an odd combination of ingredients, but I love this fruity and spicy dip.

How to Make Tzatziki

This tzatziki is made with greek yogurt with olive oil, lemon juice, dill, garlic, and thin slices of cucumber. It's a healthy snack that I love.

Butter Bean Hummus

Homemade hummus is better. This version is made with butter beans which have a milder and creamier taste than garbanzos.

Edamame Hummus

This Edamame Hummus is made with cooked shelled soybeans, fresh lemon juice, cucumber, tahini, and olive oil. It’s light and refreshing and can be served as a dip or as an addition to a sandwich.

Reduced Fat Spinach Artichoke Dip

This dip is made with yogurt so it is lower in fat than other spinach and artichoke dips.

Guacamole without Cilantro

This classic guacamole is made without cilantro, the herb that some people say tastes like soap! This recipe can be made in just 10 minutes and has bright citrus flavors.
